1.	David rated this product 5 stars Mon, October 27,2008: I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort of this shoe. I started using Wave Creations at version 5 and liked them until I hit the disastrous version 7 with the missing medial post that started to collapse inward after 125 miles. The 9 goes back to the open design rather than havin...

2.	john rated this product 1 star Mon, October 13,2008: Great support, like running in a caste.

3.	Dan rated this product 1 star Fri, August 29,2008: I have been wearing wave creations for since version 4 or 5. Each generation got slightly better than the last and I used to love this shoe. That was until this version, wave creation 9. The elastic strip connected to the tongue causes significant irritation and pulls the tongue to one side. I a...

4.	Sylvesterii rated this product 2 stars Fri, August 22,2008: Shoe fits fine, feels good, but the shoes have worn through the rubber in under 275 miles. that is unnaceptable.

5.	Bryan Repple rated this product 4 stars Tue, August 05,2008: Ran my first marathon in this shoe and felt great! Felt like I had air under my feet.

6.	John H. rated this product 2 stars Thu, July 10,2008: The shoe for the most part felt good, but, the stiffness of the plastic on the outer edge of the footbed created uneven pressure and caused discomfort.

7.	Bob rated this product 2 stars Sun, June 29,2008: Great midsole/outsole combination for the bigger runner - I'm 220lbs. The new upper is just horrible though - the elastic strap irritates my foot and makes the shoe unwearable. For information, version 8 and 9 are the same apart from the upper - Mizuno only really change their shoes every other vers...

8.	Massimo rated this product 3 stars Mon, June 23,2008: I trained and ran Chicago last year with 8s, switched the 9 to run San Diego this year, and I was a little disappointed: I entered the marathon with 155 miles on these shoes and my feet hurt like heck by mile 21. These shoes should be good for 200-250 miles especially because I weigh 155 lbs. Overal...

9.	David rated this product 5 stars Sun, June 08,2008: These shoes have excellent ventilation and are very cool. I don't care for the heal being raised above horizontal, but it is OK. The fit is different from the other Mizunos I've bought. They are still fast and great for those with a heavier build.

10.	M rated this product 5 stars Wed, May 28,2008: Loved these shoes, never have worn other Mizunos so I can't make comments like the above people. I am a large runner at 265 pounds and these shoes provide much more comfort than other shoes I wore.

11.	Frank rated this product 5 stars Tue, April 22,2008: I tried many shoes and had all kinds of issues until this shoe. It is very firm but at 6 1" 205 this shoe gave me excellent stabiltiy and control.

12.	jb rated this product 1 star Sat, April 12,2008: Loved Wave Riders 8, 9 and 10; thought this would be "upgrade" with more cushioning, but they feel harder than my worn-out 10's. Also make clomping sounds and feel like there's a bar running across the middle of my heels. 'First pair I ever needed to return.

13.	cincinnati runner rated this product 2 stars Sun, March 30,2008: I though I'd be a Mizuno man for life after a couple pairs of 7's. 8's just above average. 9's...horrible. Returned after 50 miles. Strap that runs from top eyelets to heel on outside of shoe cut into underside of ankle. Insole slipped and bunched in toe box during hard downhills. Replaced with Sa...

14.	Mark rated this product 5 stars Thu, March 27,2008: This is an awesome shoe for me. I weight 220 and this shoe gives me extra cushion more than other shoe. I usually wear nimbus gel or saucony but this shoe really out performs for heavier people.

15.	JR rated this product 4 stars Tue, March 18,2008: I thought I was set with the creation8, but tried on the Creation 9 and had to have them. Ran a 22 mile pre marathon the next day, great results.

16.	Shawn rated this product 1 star Mon, March 17,2008: This shoe stopped being good at 6. Now it's as bad as the Megabounce Plus.

17.	Anonymous rated this product 1 star Sun, March 16,2008: dreadful

18.	runner rated this product 5 stars Thu, March 06,2008: I disagree with the other runners who thought the 7 was great, it was horrible. Loved the 8th & 9th edition

19.	Anonymous rated this product 5 stars Fri, February 29,2008: Sure it's a little firm at initial try on but they feel great while running and that is what counts. Haven't you guys figured out this is the same shoe as the 8 with a new upper? Mizuno shoes change every 2 years. The uppers change every year. Do your homework.

20.	Paco Lopez rated this product 4 stars Fri, February 22,2008: Creation 9 is maybe too cushioning for my taste, I didn't find anything wrong with Creation 8, just ran Miami half marathon with them and felt just great, I've used maybe all Creations and I stick to them. Who knows? Maybe I'll change some day...

21.	Anonymous rated this product 3 stars Thu, February 14,2008: I have to agree with most other reviewers..I,too, being 190 pounds, loved the Creation up through the 6th or 7th edition..and feel the same about the past editions including the current. This shoe is definitely not for a midfoot striker and even though heel to toe transition is a strength of the Miz...

22.	Rob rated this product 1 star Wed, February 13,2008: Awful shoe ! Like many others wore the Creation up to the 7 and loved it. Version 8 was OK, but was very firm and didn't work at all in cold weather (cushioning went very firm). Now version 9 takes the mediocre midsole from the 8 (it's exactly the same) and replaces a good fitting upper with a dread...

23.	Anonymous rated this product 1 star Fri, February 08,2008: I've owned multiple pairs of every Creation through 7, they were fantastic. The 8 was horrible and the 9 is no different. I would have worn them forever but now am wearing Saucony.

24.	6''5 +200lb Club rated this product 5 stars Fri, January 18,2008: Maybe if your a heel striker this isn't the shoe for you. Though, if your athletic and strike mid-sole and if your build is over 200lbs this shoe is a great option. Just like the 8 was. Unlike the other review's I thought the wave Creation 7 was horrible.

25.	wha wha rated this product 5 stars Tue, January 15,2008: This is the best update yet. I disagree with the previous reviewers. then again different foot types will have different reviews.
